THE WEST AND FREE SUGAR.
Iowa Farmers and Other Demand It Instead
of Taking Off the Tobacco Tax.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, March 27. A lot of gentle
men interested in the manufacture of reaper
twino vreie heard to-day by the Republican
members of the committee on ways and
means in relation to the tariff. The com
mittee want to make free material for reaper
twine, bat the manufacturers, of course,
are entering strong protests. The object
in making this twine free is to
render still farther assistance to the
farmers, who have, in various forms, ap
pealed to Congress during tho past Demo
cratic administration for this relief. Tho
Republican members say they are im
movable. There has been nothing done
to-day by the Republicans in the way
of final agreements on the tariff, but the
prospects are that the bill will be presented
to the full committee within two days.
The Republicans of Iowa are having a
very perceptible effect upon the Repub
lican members of tho committee by de
manding that there shall be no reduction
of the internal taxes so long as any duty on
sugar is retained. The Iowa people are ap
parently solid for freo sugar. They might
be content with tho repeal of the whole
sale and retail licenses of the tax on to
bacco, but they are unalterably opposed to
any reduction of the tobacco tax in
other forms. Major Conger, who repre
sents the Des Moines district, said to your
correspondent this afternoon: "The Iowa
delegation is solidly opposed to any reduc
tion whatever of the internal taxes. We
will tight to the last any modilication of
the tobacco taxes. Wo vnll also light for
free sugar. These two propositions we are
solid upon, and I do not see how we can
keep Iowa Republican if we reduce tho
internal revenue taxes and keep np a sugar
duty. We have been giving too much pro
tection to the large interests and too littlo
attention to the common consumers."
Mr. La Follctte, of Wisconsin, who is one
of the Republican members of the commit
tee on wavs and means lighting for free
fen far, said this evening: "One thing is
sure, there will not be an increaso of the
duty on sugar further than proposed by tho
bill as now prepared. We want a further
cut, and it must be made. Wisconsin is op
posed to any alteration of the internal
taxes, but is practically solid lor lree sugar.
I suppose three of the Republican members
of tho committee. Rurrows of Michigan.
Gear of Iowa, and myself, will stand up and.
light for free sugar, and in opposition
to a reduction of tho tobacco taxes, after
the bill comes to the House."
There is a very great pressure being made
for free sugar, and the West is pouring in
telegrams, and letters, and sending dele
gates here in favor of free sugar and in op
position to a reduction of the internal taxes
till it looks as though the committee would
yet have to back out of its position to n
simple reduction of the sugar tax and a cut
of one-half in the internal tax.
The principal change made in the text of
the taritl bill, to-day. was the restoration
of the old rate of duty on whiting and Paris
white, which the bill proposes to increase.
The committee practically agreed to place
works of art on the free list.
nEClPROCITY WITH ARGENTINA.
Proposition Which Mr. Illalne Is Said to Ilave
Made to a Neighboring: Republic.
pedal to tlie Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, March 27. Secretary
Blaine was asked to-night about the cor
rectness of a published report, to the ef
fect that two United States delegates to
the pan-American congress were, in tho
name of the Secretary and with his ap
proval, to make a proposition of absolute
reciprocity to the representatives of the
South American countries. The Secretary
read the published dispatch carefully and
with evident interest, but positively de
clined to make any commeuts. and wouldnot
permit himself to either admit or deny tho
truth of the statements it contains. It was
learned, however, from a gentleman who is
supposed to be well posted as to what is go
ing on in tho conference, that Mr.
Flint and Mr. Coolidgo, two of tho
delegates from the United States, have
been and are still in consultation
with some of the foreign delegates with
reference to the subject above stated, but
whether they are acting upon their own re-
spondibility or under the instructions of
the Secretary of State could not be ascer
tained. The proposition is said to involve
the surrender, by the United States, of the
duties upon sugar and carpet wools im
ported from the countries of Central and
fcouth America in exchange for similar con
cessions from the government of those
countries as to merchandise imported from
the United States, including all farm prod'
nets, refined petroleum, lumber, agricult
ural implements and machinery, and some
other articles. It is asserted that such an
exchange of concessions would increase the
experts from the united States to JLatin
America from foO.GOO.OOO to 00,000,000 a
year.
The basis for these rumors is believed to
rest on the fact that in the debate on the
report of tho committee on customs union
the united States delegates, upon tho au
thority of Secretary Blaine, offered full re-
ciprocity witii tne Argentine itepubiic. ur.
Saenzpeua. a delegate from that country.
having advocated free trado in a minority
report, and in a speech in support of it, be
fore the conference. No oiler of reciprocity
was made to any other of the South Amer
ican republics.
THE OniO (JERRYMANDER.
Democrats May Not Secure the Congressmen
They Expect Gov. Campbell Future.
Special to tiie Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, March 27. Representative
Seney of Ohio, who has recently returned
from his home, said to-day that ho did not
think the redisricting of his State assured
the Democrats of such a large gain in Con-
cress as they counted on. "We will make
gains, of course, but we may not make as
many as are expected. The districts are
shaped to give us fifteen Congressmen, but
eight of the fifteen districts havo Demo-
cratic majorities of less than fifteen hundred.
A majority of that size is not safe in Ohio."
Speaking of Governor Campbell, he said
his career was before him; he was just on
the threshold, and that his future depended
upon the success of his beginning. If his
administration should prove a failure he
would drop out of sight in national poli
tics. On the other hand, a successful ad
ministration, followed by a re-election in
1891, w ould be apt to place his name on the
national ticket in lbW.
TESTING A VIRGINIA LAW.
Right of the State to Tax Shipped 3Ieats to
Be Contested by Chicago Packers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, March 27. William A.
Campbell, of Chicago, representing Armour
& Co., and other fresh beef men, has been
spending the last three or four days in
Norfolk. Va.. for the purpose of -preparing
for a test of the law recently passed in
Virginia which tare. at the rate of lcent a
pound, all fresh meat brought more than one
hundred miles to the place of sale. This
law was passed for the purpose of prohibit
ing the sale of Chicago beef in the State of
Virginia, but is regarded as unconstitu
tional, as it restricts commerce between
the States. One of the agents of Armour
& Co. was arrested in Norfolk for refusing
to pay this tax. and his trial comes oil on
next Tuednv, when the case will be
argued. This test is of great interest to
the public, as well as to all the shippers,
and able counsel is engaged on both sides.
MINOR MATTERS.
Chinese Merchants Protest Against the Pass
age of a Census Rill.
Washington, March 27. Hon. John W.
Foster appeared to-day before tho Suuate
committee on the census as tho representa
tive of the Chinese merchants in the United
States, to oppose tho bill which passed the
House on the 17th inst., requiring the Su
perintendent of the Census to give to every
Chinaman in the country a certificate.
which, after ninety days from the dt.to of
beginning of the enumeration, shall be the
sole evidence of his right to remain in the
United States, and in the absence of which
he shall be liable to deportation or impris
onment for five years. Mr. Foster asserted
that the enactment of the bill into a law
would result in the shutting out of this
country of every Chinaman, whatever his
occupation or purpose, except the minister
at Washington and the consuls at San Fran-
1 X V 1- I ft !i1.n
Cisco nnu iew xotk, wiiu tioiiui wuuiu
its limits when the census enumeration was
taken.
Mr. Foster 6aid the proper regulation and
restriction of Chinese immigration could
be secured by a rigid enforcement of the
laws now on the statue books, without
further violation of the treaties with China,
and the straining of relations with her
government. The effect of the bill, if it be
came a law, Mr. Foster said, would be to in
vite retaliation by China by shutting out
of that empire nil American merchants and
missionaries, and the complete non-intercourse,
commercially, between the nations.
Examine Yonr Ten-Dollar TJnnk Notes.
Washington, March 27. Mr. John S.
Bell, chief of the secret service. Treasury
Department, has issued tho following no
tice: "A counterfeit ten-dollar note has
appeared in Louisville, Cincinnati and St.
Louis. It is on tho Germania National
Bank of New Orleans, La.; check letter C,
series of 1882; W. S. Rosecrans, Register of
the Treasury; C. N. Jordan, Treasurer of
the United States; brown back and brown,
scolloped seal; vignette coarse and scratchy.
The back of the noto is well executed, but
tho lathe-work in the corners, cn the
face, is very poor. The State coat of arms
on me leu enn or tne oacK is very iiiuis
tinct and hardly discernible. There are no
silk lines in the paper, but some of the
counterfeits have ink lines printed in imi
tation of them. This counterfeit should
not deceive careful handlers of money, but
with tho careless its fair appearance is
likely to deceive."
Tlie President on the Value of Education.
Washington, March 27. Tho President
gavo a special reception this afternoon to
the delegates of the convention of tho
American Association for the Education of
the Colored Youth, now in session in this
city. In response to au address the Presi
dent said: "Vou have kindly assumed my
interest in yonr work, and in doing bo have
not misjudged mo in your view. I have a
firm belief that the rock of our safety as a
nation lies in the proper education of the
population; that it is impossible for a man
to discharge his duties as a citizen without
the knowledge that is to be derived lrom
the common schools."
Adam King Instead of Gen. Mahone.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, March 27. It is very likely
that Adam King, who is one of the fore
most Republicans of Baltimore, will soon
be appointed consul-general to Paris. The
announcement that this position had beon
tendered to ex-Senator William Mahone
appears to be a mistake. General Mahono's
most intimate friends in this city say the
position has not and will not bo tendered
to tho ex-Senator.
Not Satisfied with the Fosey-Parrett Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, March 27. So much dissat
isfaction exists in the House over the con
clusion of the committee on elections in the
Posey -Parrett contest that it will crcato no
surprise if a Republican member of the
committee concludes to submit a minority
report in favor of Mr. Posey, and there is a
fight on the floor of the House. An impres
sion prevails that the House would over
throw the decision of the committee if a
contest was made.
Appointments by the President.
. Washington, March 27. The President
to-day sent to the Senate tho following
nominations:
Major Anson Mills, Tenth Cavalry, to 1m lieutenant-colonel
Fourth Cavalry; Captain Stevens
T. Nowell. Tenth Cavalry, to he major.

Ind.; Francis II. Doran, Michigan City, Ind.

1,400, which ho had received from an un
known man living in Missouri, to bo placed
to the credit of the conscience fund.
General Notes.
Washington, March 27. Representative

priating $30,000 forthc establishment in the
State of California of an experiment silk
culture station.
Representatives Bland of Missouri and J.
R. Williams of Illinois, members of the
House committee on coinage, weights and
measures, to-day submitted to the House a
minority report in opposition to the Win
dom silver bill.
Tho foreign delegates to the pan-American
conference have issued invitations to a
dinner, to be given in honor of President
Harrison, on the 10th of April. This is sup
posed to indicate, with some accuracy, the
probable date of adjournment of the con
ference. The trip of the delegates through
the South will be made after that dinner.
The President to-day signed the bill to
prevent the introduction of contagious dis
eases from one State to another.
Tried to Assassinate the Priest.
Baltimore. Md.. March 27. The town
of Texas, Baltimore county, thirty-three
miles from this city, on the lino of the
Northern Central railroad, was thrown in
to a great state of excitement to-day by an
attempt to assassinate Rev. Patrick B.
Lenueghan, assistant pastor of St. Joseph
Catholic Church. Father Lenneghan was
at the church to perform a funeral cere
mony. The sexton, Richard McNichols.
without a word of warning, opened fire
upon him with a revolver. He fired five
shots in all, three of which took effect, one
in the left leg below the knee and two in
the right leg above the knee. At the first
tire the priest ran, followed bv McNichols.
Spectators, as noon as thev recovered from
their astonishment, seized the sexton and
hoislniaiL Lenneghan lies in a critical
condition. McNichols has been sexton of
tbe church six mouths. He went to the
church from Baltimore alms-house.
Mysterious Disappearance of a Rank Teller.
PlTTSiiURG. March 27. W. J. McGregor.
teller at the Fourth National Bank, private
secretary of S. D. Herron, jr., cashier of the
same institution, and treasurer of a num
ber of secret orders in this city, is missing.
He has not been seen by his friends since
last Sunday, and they are at a loss to ac
count lor his mysterious absence. I ho
officials of the bank say there is a discrep
ancy in his accounts, but cannot at present
give the amount. The missing man was
financier of Pittsburg and Duquesue con
claves. Improved Order of lleptasophs.
Order ot the Golden Chain, and Franklin
Council of Junior Order of American Me
chanics, but as far as known his accounts
are straight with tbeso bodies. His wife is
almost crazy over her husband's disappear
ance. Wm. Slattery and wife, and Edward
Spaulding, formerly of Akron. O., are under
arrest at Buffalo, on a charge of making
and passing connterfiet coin. They have
been flooding that citv with bogus ten-cent
pieces, a large number of which, newly
made, were found in their possession; also,
molds, ladles, metal, etc., used in the
work. The couutertieits are very good
ones.

"I must have been capable of doing some
thing of which my opponents cannot de
prive the world. I snpposo that is what
tho people wish to express."
The London Daily News correspondent
at this city says that at the farewell inter
view between the Kmperor and Bismarck
the Kaiser thanked tho ex-Chancellor
warmly for his services and repeatedly em
braced and kissed him. i
The National Zeitung draws attention to
the great importance of the fact that
the Prince of Wales was tho first
princely personage whom the Emperor con
sulted on the change in the chancellorship.
The Zeitung asserts that the Emperor im
pressed upon the Prince of Wales his in
tention to continue the peaceful policy of
the Dreibund. nnd to foster the closest re
lations with England.
Prince Bismarck intends to write ex
haustive memoirs. Count Herbert Bis
marck is permitted to retain the title of

London', March 27. In the House of Com
mons, to-daj Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
president of the Board of Trade, moved the
second reading of tho tithes rent bilk Ho
apologized for pressing tbe matter upon the
House, saying, in explanation, that the gov

He asked the House to consider tho bill as
an earnest attempt to do justice to both tho
clerical and tithes-payers' sides in the in
terest of tbe country at largo.
Mr. James A. Picton. member for Leices
ter, a Liberal, opposed the bill as a juggling
measure. It turned into a portable form
the nation's property so as to enable the
party promoting the scheme to carry on
their plunder easily hereafter. It was an
attempt to delude public opinion. The

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.- ' ,
Electrlc-LIght Company Mulcted 800 for
Causing the Death of a Man.
Special to the Indianapolis JournsL i
London, March 27. Tho widow of a 'man
who was lately killed at Brighton by com
ing in contact with a hanging electric-
light wire succeeded to-day in recovering
800 damages through a suit against the
company owning the wires. The number
of deaths occurring in America from electric-light
wires formed tho chief objection
to tho introduction nf tho avatem h
which the companies had a long and tedious
light to overcome, and which were not
finallr removed until the restriction wam
so fixed as to render danger to human life
almost impossible. As this was tho first
accident ofthe kind in England tho case
attracted a great deal of attention.

Central railroad, broke her ankle on Tues
day night while dancing at the reception to
the visiting general passenger agents.
Jay Gould and party are in this citv. sight-
that he was not here on business, but for

Irish Tenants Evicted.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
London, March 27. Tho evictions from
the Olpbert estates in Ireland have been
renewed with all tho painful scenes which
attended the former expulsion of tenants
from tho farms comprising that estate. A
large crowd of people from neighboring
farms and towns assembled to-day to wit
ness the work, and their outspoken expres
sions of sympathy with the bailiffs were
exasperating to tbe tenants and police, but
no violence occurred.
Rioting by Russian Students.
St. Petersburg, March 27. Renewed
disorders were fomented by tho students of
the St. Petersburg University on Monday
and Wednesday, which tho police sup
pressed with great severity. Some of the

Conspiracy to Murder the Czar.
London, , March 28. The Daily Tele
graph's St. Petersburg correspondent re
ports that the authorities have .discovered
a fresh military conspiracy to murder the
czar.
Cable Notes.
An epidemic of small-pox prevails nit
Gladbatz, Rhenish Prussia. Tho death
rate is very high, and a rigid quarantine
against the infected region has been established.
It is report d that Monsignors Boccalli,
Satolli, Botelii and Vanttili, the latter two,
respective I j nuncios at Paris and Lisbon,
will bo created cardinals at the next con
sistory.
It is expected that the cost of the Emin
relief expedition will reach 30,000. The
statement that the Lrain relief fund is ad
equate to expenses incurred is without
foundation.
Herr Jacobsen. cashier of a small bank at
Dresden, has absconded. Examination of
his accounts shows him to be a defaulter in
a sum exceeding 50,000 marks. Ho is thought'
to have gone to America.
General Daban. a member of the Spanish
Senate, has been arrested for issuing a cir
cular advising resistance to the mandates
of the government. He will probably be
sentenced to imprisonment in a fortress for
two months.
M. Anguste Vacauene. of Paris, is about
to pnblish a dramatic poem, which is the
result of twenty-live years' work. It is a
kind of antithesis to the second part of
Goethe's "Faust." and is entitled Futura,"
after the heroine, who is a symbolical lady
and the daughter of Faust.
VIEWS OP A KNIGHT OP LABOR.
What the Order and Farmers Are Doing
The Eight-Hour Movement.
St. Louis, March 27.Mr. A. W. Wright,
of the executive board, Knights of Labor,
who has been in this city adjusting some
local affairs of the order for several daya
past, in a general talk to-day, said: 'The
farmors with whom we made an alliance at
their convention in this city last fall have
done effective service at Washington this
winter in influencing legislation mutually
advantageous. We are working harmoni
ously and forcefully. Our eflbrts will be
stronger aud better as tho neces
sity for concerted action arises.
Mr. Wauamaker frankly admits that our
joint efforts in the presentation of valuablo
facts made his postal-telegraph bill possi
ble. WTe aro committed to the urgency of
tho measure, and shall persistently assist
its adoption. The Knights of Labor are
not opposing tbe American federation of
Trades in the eight-hour movement, and
will not oppose it. We think tbe con
ditions are not ripe for effective
efforts, but we are not antagonlzng
anybody. The Chicago carpenters, in
going out, despite concerted action,
does not speak well for the success of the
movement They are one month in ad
vance. It won't do to permit one company,
on tbe eve of battlo, to engage the enemy
before the whole line is organized. Ihe
general condition of labor is fair. There is
nothing decidedly promising, though it
could lie said with equal force that there is
nothing even constructively threatening.
Wo are holding our own, and have reason
ti anticipate the successful conclusion of
Vending measures."
Tardy Contribution to Destitute Miners.
Mount Carmel, Pa., March 27. To miti
gate the sufferings of his employes in this
section, Hon. William L. Scott has sent his
check for 5.000 with instructions to draw
on him if more is needed. This, with the
promise of a speedy resumption of work,
has encouraged the 2,000 miners, who have
been idle for three months.
BASE-BALL MATTERS. .
The Interstato League Seems to Re the Only
Hope Left,
As stated in the Journal yesterday morn
ing. President Brush holds out no hope of
Indianapolis having a team either in the
American Association or the International
Association, but there remains a prospect
of representation in tho Interstato League.
'It will bo several days, however," said
he, last night, before we can take up
tho matter. I so informed Mr. Smith, who
came to see me regarding it, but I did
not. as has been stated; request him to tele
graph tho Interstate League to postpone its
meeting and send a representative hero.
We do not care to vacate our territorial
rights in the League unless with the per
mission of that organization, though I pro-
sumo that could be arranged satisfactorily.
I do not like tho Sunday game feature of
the Interstate League, and though it
might be fixed so that Indianapolis
would play no Sunday games at
home the club would havo to take
part in such games on its trips. I would
rather nee the city without base-ball than
to havo it represented in an organization
in which its club had to play ball any place
on Sunday. The patronage of the game
here has always been of an exceptionally
line class, and the 6port should be kept on
an equally high level,"
'In the event of the Brotherhood going
to the wall nnd Mew York's old players re
turning to the fold, would Indianapolis get
its players back?" the reporter asked.
Well, New York would then havo so
many fine players that it would be easy to
get two teams from them."
"Would not Mr. Day keep tho cream of
the talent!"
There would be cream enough to mako
mighty fine picking for two clubs."
"In case ot a vacancy before the season is
out will Indianapolis be invited to re-enter
the League as an active member?"
. "Indianapolis is entitled to tbe first va
cancy, and. can also resume its place upon
invitation of the League at any time. Tho
club would be expected to provide its play
ers in such an event." ,
The above would seem to set at rest the
story of there having been no actual sale
of the players to New York. That the In
dianapolis club-owners hope and expect to
be in the League again bofore the year is
out is quite certain, and they do
not care to prejudice their fu
tnro position . by hasty action now
in regard to going into another league. "I
have not the time to organize a team for
the Interstate League," said Mr. Brush,
'but if the gentlemen prominently identi
fied with that organization elsewhere wish
to make the venture we will afford them
nil the facilities possible under certain con
ditions." ,
'The State League.
Special to the Indianapolis JournsL
Kokomo, Ind., March 27. A called meet
ing of the Indiana Stato League met in

WRECKED BY STAECII DUST
Sugary Eetinery Destroyed by an Ex
plosion and Many Employes Mangled.
Fire Consumes tho Kuins and A113 Yictims to
the Disaster Several Charred Bodies Re
covered Nearly Twenty Injured.
Chicago, March 27. A disastrous explo--sion
occurred this evening, in tho Chicago
Sugar-rehning Company's plant, corner of
Taylor and Beech streets. Ouc man was
fatally hurt, and twenty others sovcrely
burned. Tho explosion occurred in tho
starch-drying-room. Spontaneous com
bustion is supposed to have been the cause.
About a year ago a similar explosion oc
curred in the same building, resulting in
the fatal injury of one man. hut 110 lire.
The building in which this explosion took
place is a two-story brick structuro, sepa
rated from tho tall main building. Twenty-seven
men were at work in tho starch
room, and General Manager Arnold Behres
had just entered the room to givo
some instructions to them, when thero
came a tremendous clap, followed by flashes
of fire and the rumbling of falling timbers.
Shattered portions of buildings and ma
chinery were hurled in every direction,
and the workmen in an instant found them
selves beneath a mass of debris which was
soon ablaze. Two hundred men are em
ployed in the main building. When they
heard tho report of the explosion and saw
tho glare of the Uames they were panic
stricken. Rushing down the long narrow
stairs headlong and out into the air. it was
some minutes before they realized the posi
tion of their comrades aud began a rescue.
Cries for help sounding above tho roar of
the fire brought the main building men to
their senses. With tho aid of eighteen
lire-engine crews tho big refin
ery was barely saved and by
lively work, when once started,
a scoro of bruised and bleeding victims
were soon being deposited on improvised
couches in the laboratory of tho company.
Outside of this laboratory wives, mothers
and children, who had fought their way
through tho smoke aud the crowds of spec
tators, were clamoring for admittance, out
were Kent back by the police.
Louis iVeltzshorst, a laborer, was the vic
tim whose injuries were certainly fatal.
He was terribly burned and mangled, but
is still living. General Mamiger Behres
and foreman Hoboldt received fearful burns
about the face and hands. The others in
jured are: Hanson Xarpe, John Gilligan,
William Reisingenhous. Oscar Schultz,
Fred Kraft. Peter Gerhard t, Martin Stark,
Anton Hallock. William Hallock, Joseph
Oswald, Georgo D. Vorak and six whose
names are unknown. The loss on the build-
ing. stock and machinery is about $10,000.
Another dispatch says'that probably tour
were killed outright, and that the accident
was caused by an explosion of starch dust.
The building was literally blown to pieces.
A largo section of it landed in tho river,
and the rest is lying in confused heaps for
a distance of two block. Long after the
llames in tho ruins had been extinguished
body was dug from boneatlTa huge pile of
brielc and mortar, and sent over to Yeagcr's
morgue on Twelfth street. It was so
horribly burned and bruised as to be un
recognizable. The scattered remains of an
other body, supposed to be that of a boy,
were found by a fire company and turned
over to the police, and etill later a third
body was found. The driving storm of
sleet and snow that set in shortly after the
explosion made it nearly impos
sible for the (iremeii to continue
their search for bodies to-night. They
will resume tho work to-morrow morning
under the personal direction of Chief
Sweeney. Late to-night two of tho dead
were identified as Franz G rati", of South
Union street, Tiedman, of 104 DeKoven
street. Louis Neltzschorst and Frank Bap
tiste, both laborers, are badly burned and
mangled, and will probably die. Three
others, Albert Hesse, Frank Hollis and
Michael Hauer aro missing.
The greatest diihculty was experienced in
getting any information in regard to the
catastrophe. Reporters were refused access
to the lists of employes, or told thero were
no lists, falso statements were somehow
set alioat, and. apparently, everything
was done to thwart the collection of
facts. The same policy was pursued
at the accident a year ago. and suspicions
are now entertained that it was much more
disastrous than then reported. The corpses
discovered to-night were found more by
chanco than anything else. They were
come upon bv the liremen in the
ruins, one by .one, - and at inter
vals of an hour apart. The bodies wero
twisted into tho most grotesque shapes, the
legs and arms nearly burned oil, and one
Eoor fellow's, head was crushed out of all
uman shape. Up to a late hour none of
the oflicers of the company had appeared
at the scene or in any way seemingly taken
an interest in the calamity.
Reports late to-night show that at least
twelvo men aro missing. Those whose
names havo been learned are as follows,
and they are all believed to bo dead: Albert
Hess, Frank Wallisho, Frank Tieman
August Tieman, Peter Shrader, Mike Huaer
and Frank Gratf, all employes of tho re
finery. v '
